Very simple and easy to do quickly just beware that the sugar will stick to the bottom of the pan after it is poured with cinnomin tea but it will cook off!:D

Recipe for Mocochinchi by: Pablingo
Boil cinnamon sticks in plenty of water until the water turns a nice pink color. In a deep pot, melt plenty of sugar, stirring constantly, until it caramelizes. CAREFULLY pour the cinnamon "tea" over the caramelized sugar and stir until the sugar is dissolved. In Bolivia, this would also include a small dried peach soaked in syrup, but I don't know where you'd get those. This is pretty close as is.
Sweet and Sour Non-Alcoholic Beverage by: Chef Noly
Hi Allison,
In addition to looking at Bella's beverage page you might want to look at this week's Wacataya Wednesday recipe. The recipe is for a cocktail but there is a delicious non-alcoholic version that's sweet and sour and made up of an exotic fruit. I actually prefer the non-alcoholic version myself, its very tasty and refreshing.
The fruit juice in the recipe is easy to find in international markets or the Mexican food section of your local grocery store. You can reach the recipe by visiting Bella's Wacataya Wednesday page at http://www.boliviabella.com/bolivia-food.html or going directly to my food blog at http://www.nolysinc.blogspot.com.
Normally, we publish the post on Wednesdays but we will post it early for you. It will be available tonight after 8pm CST.
We'd love to know what drink you decide to make and what everyone's reaction is to it so please come back and leave us a comment.
Hi Allison You may want to try one of the juices or drinks on our Bolivian Beverages recipe page here. You'll probably have to multiply the recipe to make enough for 100 people. I think the easiest is the Linasa (raw linseed juice) because you can purchase linasa in the US in stores like Whole Foods - either the whole seeds or sometimes they have it in flakes.
In case linseed juice sounds really awful, try it. You are gonna be sooooooooo surprised at how refreshing and delicious it is. It's my favorite juice during the hot summer because it's really refreshing. Even more than lemonade.
Anyway, there are some other interesting drinks on that page too. I'd sure love if you came back to share with us how your dinner went and what drink recipe you decided to try, and did everybody love or hate it hahaha.
